How this figure is calculated
Arms imports (SIPRI trend indicator values) divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Arms imports (SIPRI trend indicator values) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Arms imports Arms Transfers Programme, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI)
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
